Grease_monkeys ongoing micro grow

That would be too funny if she came home early, to find a big male plant flowering away in her closet lol.

It usually fails because I don’t go in the flower room enough to mist the clone dome, and keep up the humidity. For a diligent person it may not be a problem with a decent sized cutting with lots of leaves to use for food.

You’ll be spreading spooge way before that boy is ready to blow.
Individual flowers open ongoing they will be pollinated long before your boy is ready.

I’m pretty sure I’ve got some random pollenation… too many strange spots with the hairs shriveling like on the pollenated bud. I don’t really care though , it’s a small plant, so smoking 1 oz of seeded bud 8snt nearly as bad as 6 oz seeded bud

My branch has been cut off in a cup of water with super low dose fish juice and h202 since 2 minutes after reiko told me to cut it. It’s still holding it’s own

I recommend letting it dry thoroughly and remove any plant matter. Then put it in an airtight container, uncut. Next put that container in a desiccant like silica or toasted rice. Put that in an airtight container and freeze it. Make sure everything is room temperature before you open it. I have had luck storing pollen for over a year this way.

The easiest way to collect pollen is to lay a piece of parchment in a bathtub. Cut down the males and remove fan leaf. Place the male branches on the parchment and let it dry out over the next few days. You won’t believe how much pollen is left on the parchment.

grease monkey :monkey: your plants are looking saxxxy. :v:

I bet you could use a rubbermaid bin or something with the same results.

Good point… I was just a bit shy going into this one because my first attempt at fem pollen I had left it in a tinfoil tray to dry blah blah blah got 15 seeds. But I’m starting to think I screwed up the silver process from the get go and it wasnt my pollen collecting that went bad. I sprayed way to long, and was battling heavy PM. With how many curled brown hairs are on my 2 pollenated buds this time around I have a good feeling I may get some results

Those buds you pollinated look like some good stuff.

I know a guy who uses a whole tall Rubbermaid tote.
Puts plant inside with a min reqd bulb, a little teepee at the base where it goes into the bucket to cover top of bucket.
No air movement and very well confined.

in the past when i pollinated buds with in a few days you could feel the beans inside the bud…squeezing gently you should feel a difference between the ones you hit and the ones you did not …real pretty in any case :slight_smile:

I was just thinking of that…do a wet harvest and hang the male parts in the tub with fishing line or whatever…awesome!!
Will the sacs that are closed when harvesting to hang dry open up and release viable pollen?

I just place the plant directly on the parchment so nothing goes airborne. The sacks will all open and release as it dries. Should only take a few Days to dry fully.

Kind of difficult to see in a pic, but I definitely have seeds developing

It’s looking like shes alot more preggo than I thought. I should have been atleast a tiny bit careful pollinating cause I’m pretty sure I’ve got seeds throughout the whole plant lol
